See what I did there? Haha Yes, that's a Cat in The Hat reference. Except no, her One-Thing-Does-It-All tool is not an elephant's trunk. ....assuming you've seen that episode. Otherwise your probably making a real funny face right now, thinking "What in the world is this chick talking about!?" ....sorry if that's the case. :)
Anyways. Her One-Thing-Does-It-All tool. Last night this kids mind was on extreme mode. Within an hour she went from being "supa hero Weeya" to "cowboy Weeya", "Doc Doc Weeya" to "Monster Weeya", "Pirate Weeya" to "baby Weeya". It was so much fun. Her absolute favorite thing is when people play pretend with her. It was her lucky day, she had both mommy and daddy on the floor pretending with her. Somedays she refuses to answer us as "Leah", we must call her "Princess Weeya" as she says, or whatever shes pretending to be at the time.
But it really sort of hit me last night. That an imagination is the best tool you can posses. It gives you the ability to dream and become whoever you want to be.
Our children learn so much everyday, and we teach them so much on a daily basis. But we can also learn so much from them. We should take pointers from our little toddlers, our un-tainted, care-free, joyous little people. Because they have so much they can teach us too. I know I could use a little help in the "care-free" department. Sometimes maybe you just need to leave the dishes, or laundry, clean the bathrooms tomorrow because whats one more day? And just enjoy. Enjoy anything. A walk, a book, a game with your little one, a bath, a drive, anything to put your mind a little a ease. So you can just breathe.
If we could just find a little more enjoyment from the little things, take a little time to just soak this up, this age, our time with our children now. Then maybe? Maybe we could all have a little less stress in our lives. Maybe. But its worth a try...isnt it?

Have a great weekend! Happy Canada Day Weekend! Hope your all able to get out and enjoy some festivities tomorrow!
